Posted: 11/2/05 at 8:09pmSomeone mentioned that I'll Cover You has been done in a way that dimimishes the notion of male-male love. On another board, someone also mentioned that a touching death scene dialogue between Angel and Collins has been edited out. All this points to what I feared: that Sony and the director Columbus have panicked and removed or reduced the gay male content.

Didn't you start a post about this topic a while back?
Just wondering. But i think Chris kept it the way Jonathan wanted it to be. I'm not worried.

we'll find out if that's true soon enough.
If that's the case, I won't see the movie.

Isn't that a good thing? I think what that person meant was that the way I'll Cover You makes the Angel/Collins relationship a beautiful, human relationship that doesn't need to be categorized; that same-sex love is treated like any other kind of relationship, without being made a big deal off. I would think that would be a good thing.

Posted: 11/2/05 at 8:26pmdood, the anti-gay shredder is such an amazing invention! It TOTALLY knows whats gay or not, because it was made by Sony since they HAAAATE gay people!! I was walking in the Village this afternoon and I saw some Sony execs walk up to a GORGEOUS drag queen, and they pointed and said, "your handbag matches your shoes! you are SOOOO gay!" Then they ripped off the drag queens wig and stole her high heels, and the poor thing started crying so instead of chasing after the homophobic execs, I comforted the sweet drag queen. It was so sad!!
